    Bread is the biggest problem IMO. You can easily be talking 350 calories for a plain bread roll/bap/bun.
    Butter/oil is a big issue two. Butter your roll and you could quite easily be near 500 calories before you put any fillings inside.

    I don't know what kind of bread and butter you are using, but an ordinary serving of both would be nowhere near that many calories. That's why you are supposed to eat such things in MODERATION.

    The "flatizza" is a play on words for pizza...it's pizza on a flatbread. Which is obvious...I don't see why it's a surprise it's loaded with calories.

    And Subway is not health food...it's fast food. Don't let them fool you.

    It's food. All food is food. Eating Subway is no different than going to the grocery store and buying bread, deli meat and veggies and putting them all together.

    Thanks Captain Obvious. Food is food.

    My point is some people will choose Subway over a burger joint believing they are making a better choice. Unless you are going to research calorie counts before ordering at Subway you will be shocked, as she was.

    For some of us, 500 calories is a pretty light meal. :smokin:

    I was at Subway last night and got a footlong Black Forest Ham on the Italian herb and cheese bread. I skipped the cheese because I knew I was getting extra calories with that bread instead of wheat. I loaded up on veggies, skipped the sauces, and came home and checked the nutrition info before I ate. I had the calories left to eat the whole sandwich, but I wanted to have a snack later in the evening, so I wrapped up the other half for lunch today.

    Healthy eating is about making informed choices, whether it's something you cook at home or something you're getting at a restaurant or fast food place. Too many people eat first and tally up later, which is where they might run into problems.

    ^^ Genius!

    Hi - New to the site and counting calories. For lunch I was ordering a Subway Flatizza w/pepperoni, spinach and onion---light sauce. I looked on their nutritional chart and saw that they listed it at 630 CALORIES!!! The 6 inch chicken breast on wheat is listed at 330 calories!!! I thought I was doing better w/the Flatizza since the flatbread is less than the 6 inch bread. Does anyone have any knowledge as to why the flatizza would be that much more in calories?

    630 calories is not that much. The 330 calorie sandwich is without cheese and with mustard. With mayo and cheese you could add another 150-200 calories or more. The serving for mayo is 1 Tbps., and I've never seen them squirt as little as 1 Tbsp. on a sandwich. The salads on the 6g of fat menu with FF Italian dressing would seem like a logical choice if trying to skip calories, not pizza. Know before you go.

    Please define 'fast food' versus 'health food'.

    The one without the ground up yoga mat / sneakers in the bread's ingredient list? :laugh:

    Kidding, I'm with you. Calories is calories.

    Pepperoni and cheese would do that to a calorie count.

    Yes, they would. Plain white bread can easily exceed 100 calories a slice. A regular loaf we buy is 120 so that's 250 for a simple sandwich. We have bread which is 60 a slice but it's basically only because it's half the size, not much bigger than a cracker!

    If you eat sandwiches, it is very hard to keep calories low (I aim for lunch under 300). If I make 'sandwiches' using crackers or ryebread, I can have cheese and meat easily.

    Your claim was that with the bread product and butter, you'd be near 500 calories. If your bread is 250 for 2 slices, and you use 1 tbsp of butter (a serving) which is 100 calories, that's 350 calories. Nowhere near 500. Comparison shopping can get you bread that's 60-90 calories per slice, saving you calories there, and you can buy the Land O' Lakes Whipped Butter for 50 calories per serviing. Now you're only at 240 before your meats and cheeses, top end. It's all about taking the time to do the homework.

    Definitely the pepperoni. Very high in fat.

    Subway is one of the few fast food places that I go to. I always have a veggie delite, no cheese, on wheat with red wine vinegar. I don't miss the meat at all.

    The oven roasted chicken breast is on sale here until the end of the month..............tomorrow.
